In February 2022, a Volga-Dnepr Airlines An-124 cargo jet landed in Toronto on a humanitarian mission—only to be stranded by Canadian sanctions. Now, Canada is trying to SEIZE the $100M aircraft and hand it over to mysterious third parties, sparking an international legal battle.

Progressive-left site to probe foreign interference ‘narratives’
Here’s what the activist media is reporting on this week.
Published July 27th, 2023
"Over at Press Progress, Luke LeBrun pores through the fine print of the latest political financing filings from failed Conservative leadership hopeful Roman Baber, and unearths “thousands of dollars” paid to “one of Canada’s top ‘anti mask’ organizers … to act as a recruiter and sell party memberships” during the race that ultimately saw Pierre Poilievre elected on the first round of ballot choices.
“According to leadership campaign expenses filed with Elections Canada, Baber’s campaign paid $5,000 to Vladislav Sobolev for expenses coded as ‘salaries, wages and consulting fees,’” LeBrun notes.
“Sobolev is the founder of the anti-mask group ‘Hugs Over Masks’ and describes himself as the ‘one of the original Freedom Warriors from April 2020.’ Sobolev was often found at the centre of controversy during the pandemic, repeatedly cited in news stories as a key anti-mask influencer and spreader of COVID-19 misinformation.”
A spokesperson for Baber’s campaign “confirmed to PressProgress that Baber’s leadership campaign hired Sobolev, describing the anti-mask activist as a ‘memberships seller.’”
Conservative Leadership Campaign Paid ‘Anti-Mask’ Group Leader To Sell Party Memberships
Elections Canada filings show Roman Baber hired anti-mask leader Vladislav Sobolev to work as a recruiter for his leadership campaign
One of Canada’s top “anti-mask” organizers was quietly paid thousands of dollars by the Conservative leadership campaign of Roman Baber to act as a recruiter and sell party memberships.
Baber, a former Ontario Progressive Conservative MPP who placed fourth in the leadership race that saw Pierre Poilievre crowned leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, is currently seeking the party’s nomination in the federal riding of York-Centre.
According to leadership campaign expenses filed with Elections Canada, Baber’s campaign paid $5,000 to Vladislav Sobolev for expenses coded as “salaries, wages and consulting fees.”
Sobolev is the founder of the anti-mask group “Hugs Over Masks” and describes himself as the “one of the original Freedom Warriors from April 2020.” Sobolev was often found at the centre of controversy during the pandemic, repeatedly cited in news stories as a key anti-mask influencer and spreader of COVID-19 misinformation.
Bathusa Baskararajah, spokesperson for Baber’s Conservative nomination campaign, confirmed to PressProgress that Baber’s leadership campaign hired Sobolev, describing the anti-mask activist as a “memberships seller.”
Sobolev did not respond to multiple requests for comment from PressProgress.
While Sobolev was openly supportive of Baber’s leadership campaign, the anti-mask activist’s past social media postings do not explicitly disclose details of any financial relationship between Sobolev and Baber’s leadership campaign.
In April 2022, Sobolev’s “We Are All Essential” anti-lockdown group hosted a special “town hall” meeting with Baber over Zoom that directed the group’s supporters to a sign-up page that collected their names and email addresses.
We Are All Essential (Facebook)
A month later in May 2022, “We Are All Essential” posted an “urgent call to action” endorsing Baber’s leadership campaign and calling on the group’s supporters to buy $15 Conservative Party memberships.
“It has become increasingly clear to Canadians who is best suited to defend Canada from the communist / Marxist ideology propagated by the corrupt NDP / Liberal government currently in power,” Sobolev wrote, going on to praise Baber for speaking out against “lockdowns and vaccine mandates long before it became popularized by the trucker convoy to Ottawa.”
“Whether you vote for Roman Baber or another freedom-dedicated candidate, please invest one minute of your time and a mere $15 to become a member of the Conservative Party so that you may cast your vote in the upcoming leadership election.”
The posting noted that “WeAreAllEssential.ca has personally worked with Roman Baber since January 2021,” although it did not make explicit any financial relationship between Sobolev and Baber’s leadership campaign at the time.
We Are All Essential (Facebook)
During a September 6, 2022 livestream video four days before the leadership vote, Sobolev told his audience that he did not personally vote for Baber because he did not receive a ballot, but helped out in other ways.
“I’ve been supporting Roman since day one, he was joining some of We Are Essential’s Zoom calls in the beginning of the initiatives,” Sobolev said. “I would love for Roman to win 100%.”
“I personally did not get my ballot,” Sobolev noted, but said “I did what I could to support Roman in any way.”
Baber, a former provincial Ontario PC MPP was kicked out of caucus by Doug Ford in January 2021 after penning a letter that claimed Ford’s government’s “lockdowns are deadlier than COVID.”
In his September 10, 2022 leadership victory speech, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre personally thanked Baber for “standing up for and making sacrifices for freedom for everybody.”

If you don't know my personal story - you can read it below
Vladislav Sobolev was born and raised in the former Soviet Union and is a father to young boy Ilya. He is one of the original Freedom Warriors from April 2020. He was instrumental in organizing the very first resistance to the unscientific and blatantly harmful government measures to all, especially innocent children early in the the CV 19 era first in Toronto Ontario, and very quickly across Canada and even internationally.
As such he became a real threat to the establishment and was threatened to stop all of his activism actions and follow all public health measures in order to see his only son, Ilya. Vladislav refused and demanded for his son obstruction to stop immediately.
Brief backstory: Ilya was born April 2016 to his father is Vladislav Sobolev and Mother. Vlad has been navigating a very challenging co-parenting relationship with Ilya’s mother for the last 6 years. There are multiple examples of attempts to keep Ilya away from his father and restrict his access as much as possible during the time Ilya had to build a meaningful relationship with his whole paternal family.
The cv 19 measures gave a perfect opportunity to his mother to
leverage and keep Vladislav, a good and loving father away from his
son. The judge assigned to the case in June 2020, J.Akbarali is well
known now after multiple cv 19 related cases to be
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"government enforcer\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" , doing what she
can to protect the government cv 19 agenda.

PLEASE HELP: We ask you to please consider contributing to the legal fund to help stop prosecution of Vladislav Sobolev, who has now been criminally charged on top of his ongoing family court battle, where he has been representing himself in court; and get Ilya reunited this his whole paternal family, especially his 1 year old baby sister Ava Love Soboleva who he had yet to see in person.
At this time civil lawyer AND criminal lawyers are required to assist Vladislav in his battle for his kids! Please share this go get funding legal fund wide and far and help anyway you can to insure that the child’s best interest prevails above all.
Vladislav Sobolev activism in early 2020 resulted in:

SOR/2025-29 February 14, 2025
SPECIAL ECONOMIC MEASURES ACT

REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
(This statement is not part of the Order.)
Issues
It is necessary to update the order respecting the seizure of the Antonov 124 aircraft located at Toronto Pearson International Airport to include additional persons believed to own, hold or control — directly or indirectly — that property.
Background
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced “a special military operation” as Russian forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine from Russian and Belarusian territory, which continues to this day. Heavy fighting persists in eastern and southern Ukraine. As part of its military strategy, Russia continues to fire missiles and kamikaze drone attacks on essential civilian infrastructure. In December 2024, the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine has confirmed at least 12 456 civilians have been killed and 28 382 injured since February 24, 2022. Furthermore, 680 medical facilities and 1 275 educational facilities in Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed by Russia’s military since the invasion.
International response
The coalition of countries supporting Ukraine against Russia’s illegal invasion includes, but is not limited to, G7 and European countries and some of Ukraine’s neighbours. This group is working to support Ukraine across a number of areas, including energy security, nuclear safety, food security, humanitarian assistance, combatting Russian disinformation, sanctions and economic measures, asset seizure and forfeiture, military assistance, accountability, recovery and reconstruction. Canada and G7 countries are engaged diplomatically with the broader international community to encourage support for Ukraine and counter false Russian narratives.
Canada’s response
Following Russia’s illegal occupation and attempted annexation of Crimea in March 2014, the Government of Canada, in tandem with partners and allies, enacted sanctions through the regulations under the Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA). The Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations (the Russia Regulations) impose dealings prohibitions (an effective asset freeze) on listed individuals and entities supporting or enabling Russia’s violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty. Any person in Canada and Canadians outside Canada are prohibited from dealing in the property of, entering into transactions with, providing services to, or otherwise making goods available to persons listed under Schedules 1, 2 or 3 of the Russia Regulations.
In coordination with its international partners, Canada has imposed sanctions on more than 3 000 individuals and entities in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova who are complicit in the violation of Ukraine’s and Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and human rights abuses. In addition, Canada has implemented targeted restrictions against Russia in financial, trade (goods and services), energy and transport sectors.
Canada’s asset seizure and forfeiture regime
On June 23, 2022, Canada was the first to implement a G7 commitment to seize, forfeit and redistribute sanctioned persons’ assets by amending the SEMA and the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Sergei Magnitsky Law). Canada’s asset seizure and forfeiture regime enables the Government to seize (if the asset if of physical nature), restrain (if the asset is financial, such as accounts, investments, bonds), forfeit, dispose and redistribute assets belonging to listed individuals and entities that have already been effectively frozen by Canadian sanctions.
Any property recommended for seizure (or restraint) and forfeiture is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Forfeiture of property requires a two-stage process: first, a Governor-in-Council Order (OIC) would be obtained under paragraph 4(1)(b) of the SEMA to seize or restrain targeted property belonging to a sanctioned individual or entity pursuant to the triggers set out in subsection 4(1.1) of the SEMA. Second, once the property is seized or restrained, the Minister of Foreign Affairs may apply to a provincial court in which the property is located for an Order that the property be permanently forfeited to the Crown. If the request to forfeit is successful, the proceeds from its disposal may be used for the reconstruction of affected states, the restoration of international peace and security, and compensation to victims, as described in section 5.6 of the SEMA.
Canada has used the regime’s authorities twice to date. First, on December 19, 2022, when Canada announced that an OIC had been made to restrain US$26 million from Granite Capital Holdings Ltd., a company believed to be owned, held, or controlled by Roman Abramovich, a Russian oligarch sanctioned under the Russia Regulations. Second, on June 10, 2023, when Canada announced that an OIC had been made to seize an Antonov 124 aircraft believed to be owned, held, or controlled by Volga-Dnepr Airlines or Volga-Dnepr Group, two entities sanctioned under the Russia Regulations.
Objective
- Update the Order respecting the seizure of property in Canada to include additional persons with ownership interests in that property.
- Send a clear message that those who are complicit in the support of regimes that violate international law can no longer continue to benefit.
Description
The Order repeals the Order Respecting the Seizure of Property Situated in Canada (Volga-Dnepr Airlines or Volga-Dnepr Group) [SOR/2023-120] and replaces it with a new seizure order that identifies Aleksey Ivanovich Isaykin, Volga-Dnepr Airlines (Ireland) Limited, Volga-Dnepr Logistics B.V. and Sberbank, alongside Volga-Dnepr Group and Volga-Dnepr Airlines, as persons believed to own, hold, or control, directly or indirectly, the currently seized Antonov 124 aircraft located at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
As was the case under the previous seizure order, the Minister of Public Works and Government Services has possession and control of the aircraft and is authorized to manage or otherwise deal with the aircraft.
Regulatory development
Consultation
Global Affairs Canada regularly engages with relevant stakeholders, including civil society organizations, cultural communities and other like-minded governments, regarding Canada’s approach to sanctions implementation.
Public consultation would not be appropriate as publicizing the names of the persons targeted by the Order could result in changes to the ownership structure prior to its entry into force.
Modern treaty obligations and Indigenous engagement and consultation
An initial assessment has been conducted, and no modern treaty implications have been identified.
Instrument choice
Regulations are the sole method to enact sanctions in Canada. No other instrument could be considered.
Regulatory analysis
Benefits and costs
There are no costs associated with the Order. Further, given the asset targeted does not involve Canadians or persons in Canada, Global Affairs Canada does not expect any Canadian to be negatively impacted by this Order. The benefits are including additional designated entities with ownership interests in the property and, thereby, limiting the ability of those who are complicit in the support of regimes that violate international from deriving any benefit.
Small business lens
Analysis under the small business lens concluded that the initiative will not impact Canadian small businesses, since the Order does not involve any Canadian businesses or business people in Canada.
One-for-one rule
The one-for-one rule does not apply to the Order, as it does not impose any incremental administrative burden on Canadian businesses.
Regulatory cooperation and alignment
While like-minded allies remain supportive of Canada’s initiative and continue to explore options for implementing the G7’s commitment to seize and forfeit the assets of sanctioned persons, Canada was the first — and to date still the only one — to implement this commitment through the creation of a legislative regime for asset seizure and forfeiture on the basis of economic sanctions.
Effects on the environment
This Order is unlikely to result in important environmental effects. In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on Strategic Environmental and Economic Assessment (SEEA Directive), a preliminary scan concluded that an SEEA is not required.
Gender-based analysis plus
No gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) impacts have been identified for the Order.
Implementation, compliance and enforcement, and service standards
The Order comes into force on the day on which it is registered. Global Affairs Canada will notify the individuals and entities related to the asset of the new conditions of the Order.
Any permits issued pursuant to the Order Respecting the Seizure of Property Situated in Canada (Volga-Dnepr Airlines or Volga-Dnepr Group) [SOR/2023-120] remain valid pursuant to the conditions stipulated in the permit.

Canada’s seizure of the Volga-Dnepr’s An-124 casts doubt on country's international business practices
Volga-Dnepr Airlines unexpectedly encountered a pirate hijacking of its aircraft seized in Canada — a country once chosen to host the main international aviation organizations ICAO (The International Civil Aviation Organization) and IATA (International Air Transport Association). As per received information, the privately-owned aircraft has been illegally inspected and is intended to be transferred to third parties.
Is has been more than three years since the civil cargo aircraft An-124-100 (reg. number RA-82078) of Volga-Dnepr Airlines has been unable to take off from Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Canada. On February 27, 2022 the plane operated a humanitarian flight to Toronto, but after unloading it was prohibited from leaving Canadian territory due to the distribution of a newly issued NOTAM (notice to flight personnel) prohibiting the Russian airlines from using the Canadian airspace. The aircraft was subsequently illegally seized by the authorities. In August 2024, after unsuccessful attempts to negotiate the issue with the Canadian authorities, Volga-Dnepr Airlines initiated investment arbitration proceedings in connection with the expropriation of its business in Canada and other illegal actions by the authorities.
‘From the very beginning, we tried to interact with the Canadian
authorities based on previously established business communications
in accordance with international business rules. Humanitarian missions
have always been considered neutral cases that stand apart from the
political context. We delivered vital cargo with COVID-19 test kits from
China to Canada. The flight was carried out as part of life-saving
logistics mission aimed at overcoming the pandemic, its consequences and
protecting global population in tandem with other countries. Previously
we had organized and operated similar flights around the world, for
example, to Germany, France, China. In all the cases, Volga-Dnepr —
an airline with a
Lately we have been receiving alarming reports and photos demonstrating illegal attempts to get aboard our aircraft by unauthorized personnel. Any technical works or maintenance operations performed by unqualified aviation specialists can lead to serious damage to the aircraft. This situation leaves our company, as well as international community and other companies still working in Canada utterly baffled. In short, sanctions and specially amended SEMA (Special Economic Measures Act) are being used as a tool to carry out the country’s government’s plan of illegal takeover’, emphasized Igor Aksenov, General Director of Volga-Dnepr Airlines.
The An-124-100 is a unique ramp aircraft capable of transporting
a wide range of cargo for all sectors of the global economy. Space
satellites, aircraft engines, generators, turbines, helicopters, railway
locomotives, various oil and gas equipment and much more — these are
just a few examples of cargo which cannot be transported aboard other
freighters existing nowadays. There are simply no equivalents of such
aircraft in the world, they are not manufactured and will not
be replaced by new aircraft type within the next
Aircraft under reg.number RA-82078, as well as other planes within Volga-Dnepr’s fleet, have been repeatedly charted to advance the Canadian economy. Over the past 10 years, Volga-Dnepr Airlines has organized and operated more than 250 flights to/from Canada delivering around 9,500 tons of oversized cargo for the realization of industry-specific projects. Canadian organizations have collaborated with the airline, valuing its economic, technical and project logistics expertise. In 2017, Volga-Dnepr Airlines operated 21 flights in the interest of a mining company to the unpaved Arctic airfield ‘Mary River’ (Northern Canada) to deliver tractors, trailers and semi-trailers to a nearby field factory. At that time, no airline in the world could offer a complex solution for transportation of all the necessary equipment to a hard-to-reach airport with limited ground infrastructure under severe Arctic weather conditions.
In addition to commercial flights, Volga-Dnepr has always responded promptly to humanitarian requests, actively participating in organizing rescue logistics missions. As part of assistance to the population of Haiti, which suffered from a powerful earthquake in 2021, the airline organized and operated charter flights aboard its fleet of An-124-100 and Il-76TD-90VD to deliver around 110 tons of humanitarian cargo. Five flights were performed, including the one from Hamilton, Canada to Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
The international market of unique oversized cargo air transportation has been shaping up over several decades, with the main driver of its development being available fleet of An-124. Currently, most global market players agree on the problem of capacity shortage. This in its turn causes delay in implementation of many industry-specific projects due to the impossibility of organizing prompt air delivery of technically complex cargo. Intention to transfer the Volga-Dnepr’s plane to third parties ‘under a specious excuse’ for its further commercial operations should be considered as an act of piracy.
The return of the An-124 to Volga-Dnepr Airlines will stimulate harmonization of market balance, have a positive impact on the stability of supply chains, and will keep the reputation of Canada as a country that adheres to international law and does not encourage forcible takeover of private property.

The Canadian Government has formally launched its first attempt to forfeit the property of sanctioned persons under a new and unique mechanism in sanctions law. On March 18, 2025, it initiated long-anticipated forfeiture proceedings with the Superior Court of Ontario (the “Application”) to acquire a Russian cargo aircraft belonging to a person listed under Canada’s sanctions against Russia. The aircraft was operated by Volga-Dnepr Airlines LLC and Volga-Dnepr LLC (collectively, “Volga-Dnepr”) and has been stranded at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport since Russian airlines were prohibited from using Canadian Airspace in February 2022. The Canadian government had issued orders enabling the seizure of the aircraft in 2023 and earlier this year.
This marks the first attempt by the Canadian Government to acquire property from a person listed under Canadian sanctions using the forfeiture mechanism announced in Canada’s Federal Budget 2022. Notably, unlike other mechanisms for seizure and forfeiture of property in the context of economic sanctions, there is no requirement for the government to demonstrate that the property was involved in or facilitated a sanctions violation or constituted, or was derived from, proceeds traceable to such violation.
Background
The Russian-registered cargo aircraft Antonov An-124 (“Antonov Aircraft”) is one of the largest cargo aircrafts in the world, with a lifting capacity of 150 tons. The airplane initially landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport in February 2022 during the delivery of a shipment of COVID-19 test kits. It was still unloading the shipment when Canada closed its airspace to Russian carriers, grounding the plane.
Subsequently, on April 5, 2023, the Volga-Dnepr Group, Volga-Dnepr Airlines and Aleksey Ivanovich Isaykin (founder and CEO of the airline) were listed pursuant to the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations.
On June 8, 2023, on the recommendation of the Minister to the GIC, the Antonov aircraft was seized pursuant to paragraph 4(1)(b) of the Special Economic Measures Act (“SEMA”). That allows the Governor in Council (“GIC”) to issue an order causing any property situated in Canada that is owned, held or controlled — directly or indirectly — by a foreign state or a person who is designated under Canadian sanctions, to be seized or restrained in the manner set out in the order. We discuss this seizure in detail in our client alert issued at the time, “Canada Initiates Second Forfeiture of Property of Russian Sanctioned Persons, This Time Targeting Russian Aircraft”.
On August 2024, Volga-Dnepr filed a USD $100 million dollar claim against the Canadian Government. The claim argued that the Canadian Government’s seizure of the aircraft, under the pretext of sanctions against the Russian Federation, had negatively impacted their business, and violated the Canada - Russian Federation Bilateral Investment Treaty (“Can-Rus BIT”) of 1989. The Can-Rus BIT, in force since 1991, is a bilateral investment treaty which allows Russians to claim against the Canadian government for damages arising out of its failure to abide by its investment protection obligations, including its commitment not to engage in expropriation of Russian-owned assets without prompt, effective and adequate compensation. As of now, these proceedings are still pending.
Most recently, on February 14, 2025, the 2023 seizure order was repealed and replaced by a seizure order listing all of the Respondents, including Volga-Dnepr Limited, and Irish entity, Volga-Dnepr Logistics B.V., a Dutch entity, and Sberbank. This listing comes from the application of the 2023 amendments to SEMA, permitting it to impose sanctions on persons based outside of the targeted jurisdiction. The newly targeted entities are subsidiaries of Volga-Dnepr Airlines and Volga-Dnepr Group, which are already sanctioned under Schedule 1 for their involvement in Russia’s war on Ukraine. Any of these entities have the right, pursuant to section 5.1 of the SEMA, to apply in writing to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to request that the property cease being the subject of the seizure order. According to the Application, to date no such request has been made.
The Forfeiture Order
On March 18, 2025, the Attorney General of Canada submitted the Application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for forfeiture of the Antonov aircraft. Pursuant to subsection 5.4(1) of SEMA:
5.4 (1) On application by the Minister, a judge shall order that the property that is the subject of the application be forfeited to Her Majesty in right of Canada if the judge determines, based on the evidence presented, that the property (a) is described in an order made under paragraph 4(1)(b); and (b) is owned by the person referred to in that order or is held or controlled, directly or indirectly, by that person. The Application argues that both of these conditions have been satisfied.
The Crown has stated their intention to dispose of the property in such a manner to recover the costs incurred. While no other explicit plans have been announced, both the Canadian Government and Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna have stated that Canada “will work with the Government of Ukraine on options to redistribute this asset to compensate victims of human rights abuses, restore international peace and security, or rebuild Ukraine.”
This stated intention appears to be in line with section 5.6 of SEMA, which states that:
5.6 After consulting with the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister may — at the times and in the manner, and on any terms and conditions, that the Minister considers appropriate — pay out of the Proceeds Account, as defined in section 2 of the Seized Property Management Act, amounts not exceeding the net proceeds from the disposition of property forfeited under section 5.4, but only for any of the following purposes: (a) the reconstruction of a foreign state adversely affected by a grave breach of international peace and security; (b) the restoration of international peace and security; and (c) the compensation of victims of a grave breach of international peace and security, gross and systematic human rights violations or acts of significant corruption.
In response to the Application, Volga-Dnepr has released a statement condemning Canada, and calling the Order a “pirate hijacking”, stating that these actions will negatively impact the “reputation of Canada as a country that adheres to international law and does not encourage forcible takeover of private property.” The Russian government has demonstrated previous support for Volga-Dnepr and the Kremlin stated the seizure would have “serious repercussions” for Canada-Russian relations, but it remains to be seen whether they will respond to the forfeiture of the aircraft – and any other Russian property – in kind by taking action against Canadian assets within reach of their jurisdiction.
***
This is the first time we have seen this exercise of Canada’s forfeiture powers over the property of persons listed under Canadian sanctions. This case is unprecedented among the G7 countries and will be watched closely as Ukraine’s allies continue to consider the forfeiture and redistribution to Ukraine of Russian funds and other property located in Western countries.
McCarthy Tétrault’s International Trade and Investment Law Group has significant experience with Canadian sanctions matters and will continue to monitor these developments and shifting sanctions landscape related to the conflict in Ukraine and beyond.

Federal government moves closer to taking over Russian cargo plane for Ukraine

Volga-Dnepr sits on the tarmac at Pearson Airport in Toronto on Monday,
March 21, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank Gunn
Posted February 27, 2025 1:01 pm.
OTTAWA — The federal government has taken administrative steps to help gain full control over a massive Russian cargo plane parked in Toronto, which Ottawa hopes to use to generate financial support for Ukraine.
“This looks like it’s the government gearing up for its forfeiture of that aircraft,” said William Pellerin, an Ottawa-based trade lawyer with the firm McMillan LLP.
He says he expects the government “to move very quickly on this forfeiture, imminently” by seeking a court order to render the plane property of the Crown.
In June 2023, the federal government officially seized an aircraft that had been sitting on the tarmac at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport since February 2022. The plane hasn’t moved in the intervening 25 months.
The Russian-registered Antonov AN-124 is owned by the firm Volga-Dneper, which Canada has sanctioned. It is one of the largest aircraft in the world, and Ottawa fears Russia could use it to deliver military supplies in its invasion of Ukraine.
In June 2023, Ottawa issued a formal cabinet order to seize the plane, ahead of a formal court process to have it forfeited to the Crown. At that point, Moscow warned that relations with Canada were “on the verge of being severed.”
Months later, Ottawa has effectively retracted its original cabinet order and revised it, to apply to foreign subsidiaries of the Volga-Dneper company. That includes sanctioning corporate subsidiaries based in Ireland and the Netherlands, as well as individuals the Canadian government suspects of “ownership interests” in the airplane.
The changes appear in an order-in-council as well as a formal gazette notice, both of which were dated Feb. 14.
“Normally when you sanction (a company), all of its subsidiaries are expressly themselves sanctioned. And so you would never expressly then sanction subsidiaries, especially non-Russian subsidiaries, under the Russian regulations,” Pellerin said.
He said it seems Canada is trying “to make sure that it has everything it needs when it moves to court” because the two regulatory changes “make no sense, unless the government is imminently about to formally forfeit that aircraft to the Crown.”
Russia has claimed that Ottawa is undertaking an illegal expropriation, and Volga-Dneper argues Canada is violating the terms of the 1989 foreign investment protocol that Moscow signed with Ottawa, which has applied since the days of the Soviet Union.
The company alleged last August that Canada has cost it upwards of $100 million U.S.
Mark Kersten, an international law professor at the University of the Fraser Valley, said it’s “remarkable” Ottawa hasn’t actually filed paperwork to take full control of the airplane, more than a year after seizing the property and pledging to gain full control of it.
“These moves that Canada is making have the potential to create incredible precedents,” he said, arguing Ottawa should be regularly updating Canadians on its efforts to seize Russian assets and send revenues to Ukraine.
It’s unclear whether Ottawa would sell the airplane in its current state, use it to generate profits or strip the aircraft for parts. Kersten noted that it’s possible the plane might not be able to fly in its current state, given the need for airplanes to be maintained and regularly flown to be operational.
The Canadian Press has contacted Global Affairs Canada and the Russian embassy in Ottawa for comment.
Canada is the first G7 country to introduce a law that allows it to both seize assets held by sanctioned people and divert the proceeds to victims of a sanctioned regime.
A Senate report warned last month that the law could put Canadian companies abroad at risk, and could undermine the rule of law if the provisions aren’t enforced through due process.

The dark horses in the suddenly crowded Conservative leadership race
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politi
Big crowds turning out for Poilievre suggest a very different kind of
Conservative leadership race
Crowds can motivate but votes are what win leadership races, say analysts
Catherine Cullen · CBC News · Posted: Apr 12, 2022 4:00 AM ET

an anti-carbon tax rally in Ottawa on Thursday, March 31, 2022.
(Patrick Doyle/The Canadian Press)
In the last two Conservative leadership races, the supposed
front-runners stumbled before reaching the finish line. This time,
however, the front-runner is only showing signs of gaining ground.
Swelling crowd counts and MP endorsements aren't ironclad guarantees
of success, but they certainly don't hurt. And Pierre Poilievre — with
his populist appeals to frustration with government "gatekeepers" and
calls to make Canada "the freest country on earth" — is doing well on
both those measures.
Poilievre has tweeted photos of rallies in British Columbia and
Ontario attended by hundreds of people. His visits to Calgary on
Tuesday and Edmonton on Thursday are expected to draw more big crowds.
"They're unprecedented in a leadership [race]," said Melanie Paradis,
a veteran of the two previous Conservative leadership races who served
as former leader Erin O'Toole's deputy campaign director.
"He has a compelling narrative. It's important to credit that."
The theme of Poilievre's campaign is freedom. His rallies target
government policies that he argues restrict those freedoms —
everything from vaccine mandates to carbon taxes to government policy
on inflation. Poilievre promises that if he becomes prime minister,
he'll put a stop to all of it.
His supporters praise Poilievre for being an unapologetic
conservative. Many like his willingness to bluntly criticize and even
mock the Liberals.
Detractors worry he'll deepen divisions within the party and the
country. Some have gone as far as to warn of the "Trumpification" of
the Conservative Party if Poilievre wins.
Recent Conservative leadership contests haven't been kind to perceived
front-runners. Maxime Bernier was expected to win the leadership in
2017, only to be knocked down by Andrew Scheer.
In 2020, Peter MacKay was widely viewed as the front-runner because
he'd held a series of high-profile cabinet posts and helped to found
the modern Conservative Party. He lost to O'Toole on the third ballot.
Poilievre benefits from some key differences between this race and the
last two, said Paradis.

In 2017, Paradis said, the party was out of practice when it came to
running leadership races. It allowed the race to drag on for more than
a year, she said, which robbed it of a sense of urgency. It also had a
field of more than a dozen candidates, which divided the attention and
resources of party activists.
In the last race, leadership contenders had to grapple with pandemic
limits on the size of gatherings, which undermined outreach efforts.
Now, Paradis said, many Canadians are excited to spend time with
others.
Poilievre also has the advantage in caucus endorsements. More than 50
MPs are publicly backing him, compared to just 11 MP endorsements for
candidate and former Quebec premier Jean Charest and six for MP Leslyn
Lewis, who's running for the leadership for a second time.

Former Conservative senior staffer Garry Keller said he sees a
parallel between Poilievre's campaign performance and that of his
chief political foe, Justin Trudeau. The massive crowds the rookie
Liberal leader drew at events up and down the 401 highway in Ontario
during the 2015 election campaign offered the first hint of the
Liberal Party of Canada's comeback victory over Stephen Harper's
Conservatives that year.
"[Trudeau] was getting mega-crowds for Canadian politics with a
moment's notice. You can't fake that. I'm seeing a lot of similarities
with Pierre's campaign," said Keller, a vice president at StrategyCorp
and ex-chief of staff to John Baird, a former Harper cabinet minister
and an adviser on Poilievre's campaign.
The idea of similarities between Trudeau and Poilievre may seem
strange to some, but both have managed to get people talking and draw
in supporters who are new to party politics, said Keller.
Turning turnout into votes
He said Liberals should remember the Conservatives who laughed off
Trudeau in 2015 and take Poilievre's potential as a candidate
seriously.
One of the deciding factors in the Conservative leadership race may be
whether Poilievre and his team can translate rally turnout into voter
turnout.
Big rally crowds can project momentum and provide "an intimidation
factor" for opponents, said Éric Grenier, founder of the elections
analysis site TheWrit.ca — but they're not an end unto themselves.
"The most important thing is to make sure those people actually sign
up to become members," he said.

Poilievre, poll suggests
"If you're being very successful, signing people up over the Internet,
over social media, then the fact that you don't have these big crowds
might not be that important."
Candidates have until June 3 to sign up new members.
Getting supporters to take out party memberships is one thing. Getting
them to actually vote is another.
Paradis — who is remaining neutral in the leadership contest — pointed
out that in recent Conservative leadership races, only about 60 per
cent of the party's eligible voters actually wound up casting ballots.

children Theodore (right) and Savannah as he announces his candidacy

While no one else in the race has yet shown Poilievre's ability to
draw crowds, there are other ways to manage a run for the leadership.
Former MP and Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown is
known for his political determination. Paradis said that while Brown
has kept relatively quiet on social media lately, he's been working
the phones daily from early morning to past midnight, reaching out to
potential supporters, while attending numerous events during the day.
"Nobody really talks about what Patrick is up to and I think he's fine
with that," she said.
Lewis has tweeted photos of herself addressing sizeable crowds while
touring the Prairie provinces. She also showed strength by being the
first candidate to officially get on the Conservative ballot by
submitting the necessary $300,000 in fundraising and signatures from
supporters.
Lewis and her team can be expected to make use of lessons learned
during her previous leadership run, said Keller.
Charest takes on Poilievre through the media
The candidate who has made the most pointed comments about Poilievre
to date is Charest, who hasn't seen many large crowds during the race.
Instead, he's been taking the fight to Poilievre through the media.
Over the weekend, Charest told several interviewers that Poilievre's
support for the self-styled "Freedom Convoy" — which occupied parts of
downtown Ottawa in February to demand an end to all pandemic
restrictions — should disqualify Poilievre from being prime minister
"The choice is this — either we do American-style politics, the
politics of attack and of division, or we do politics the way we do it
in Canada," Charest said in French while appearing on Radio-Canada's
Tout le Monde en Parle.
"Mr. Poilievre, who is by the way a legislator ... supported a
blockade that had very direct consequences on the Canadian economy and
which was illegal. Laws are not like a buffet where we choose what we
like and what we don't."

convoy occupation of downtown Ottawa on Feb. 19, 2022. (Evan
Mitsui/CBC)
Charest supporter and long-time Conservative MP Ed Fast was asked by
reporters last week about the crowds coming out to hear Poilievre
speak.
"I don't think we need to stir up anger in Canada. I don't think we
should be tapping into that. I think what we need right now is
somebody who can heal the nation," said Fast.
Keller rejects the suggestion that Poilievre is divisive. While the
Ottawa MP has made some pointed attacks against his rivals in the
race, Keller said he sees that as the candidate standing up for his
conservative principles.
"[Poilievre] is trying to make headlines and he is trying to very
clearly stake out some ground here about who he is," he said.
With months left to go before the September vote, Paradis cautioned
against drawing any early conclusions about momentum. So much of what
matters in campaigns, from raising money to assembling supporters,
happens away from the public eye, she said.
"No one really sees what's really going on in these races. And it's
why people are surprised every time."

Son of Frank Bourgault, the inventor of the Bourgault Cultivator in
1973, the Bourgault family represents companies including Bourgault
Industries, Bourgault Tillage Tools, Dry Air, Highline and Freeform.
Bourgault describes himself as an “honest, truth seeking, principled
fiscal and social Conservative.”
“To me it’s always ‘what’s the truth?’” he said. “I do my homework to
discern the truth and then I’m principled as whatever the truth is,
that’s what I’ll act on.”
COVID-19 regulations, Lifewise Health Centre and the Freedom Convoy
In 2020, Bourgault co-founded a non-profit organization called
Canadians for Truth, Freedom, and Justice which opposed federal and
provincial COVID-19 mandates.
In pamphlets distributed throughout Humboldt and area, Canadians for
Truth, Freedom, and Justice said variants of COVID-19 are from leaky
experimental gene therapy to treat the virus, instead promoting buying
anti-viral substitutes from Lifewise Health Centre, a health food
store Bourgault founded.
In 2022, he took part in the Freedom Convoy to Ottawa to protest
COVID-19 mandates, which resulted in the federal government declaring
a nine-day state of emergency as the government worked to unobstruct
border crossings and ensure commerce across the U.S.-Canada border.
Bourgault said one of his first policies is to completely remove all
COVID-19 mandates, which he referred to as a “medical experiment.”
“Mandates are really another word for making forced medical decisions,
mandates are extortion. When you fire people because they refused to
participate in a medical experiment, that’s extortion,” he said.
“I have never seen a politician trample on the Charter of Rights and
Freedoms like this Prime Minister has. I was in Ottawa during the
Freedom Convoy and I was there the whole time and what he said when
declared martial law, basically declared war on these people was just
outrageous.”
Instead of current Health Canada recommendations, Bourgault promotes
the use of Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Vitamin D, and Zinc for
treating COVID-19.
“To me there are natural solutions both herbal remedies and
nutritional supplements that can help and treat COVID. I know because
I helped 29 people to recover [and] have speedy recoveries with these
supplements.”
Policies
Fiscally, Bourgault seeks a balanced budget. Some of his initiatives
include eliminating the carbon tax and providing private sector tax
incentives for projects that will reduce or eliminate pollution of
air, water and soil.
He also seeks to reduce personal and business income taxes, which he
said will create investment in the economy while keeping citizens
healthy, happy and prosperous. Individually, he aims to adjust the
tax system for individual Canadians to not tax anyone below $50,000,
as well as lowering taxes for the middle class worker.
“I would never have locked the economy down and send CERB cheques out
to everybody. We want everybody to be working, so to me locking the
economy down, having these lockdowns make no sense, and the reason
they had the lockdown was because they did not allow doctors to
prescribe the therapeutics that were available to prevent and treat.”
Bourgault said he wants to create “a true healthcare culture,”
creating a distinction between healthcare and medical care.
Healthcare would be defined as the means to keep “citizens out of the
medical care system by empowering them to make healthy diet and
lifestyle choices.”
To this result, he said he intends to increase the standard deduction
of federal income tax to the poverty line, in order to proactively
reduce addiction and abuse.
“I want us to increase the basic deduction both provincially and
federally to the true poverty line so that all Canadians can afford a
healthy diet and lifestyle to be healthy, happy and productive to stay
out of the medical care system. What that will do is it will reduce
medical costs and put the horse in front of the cart. That’s one way I
see reducing the cost of government.”
For immigration, Bourgault said his goal is to attract future citizens
who align with “Canadian core values and principles” by tightening
immigration restrictions. He said those values include recognizing
freedom and democracy, recognizing gender equality between men and
women, willingness to learn both English and French if necessary,
tolerance, and respect.
Bourgault states he is pro-life, but wants to lower abortion numbers
through fiscal policies to allow for more Canadians to be able to
afford to raise a child.
“I would allow married partners or partnered couples to split income
up to $100,000 and I’d want a $20,000 basic child tax deduction so
that parents could afford to have children and could afford to raise
healthy, happy children that are engaged in sports and art,” he said.
“It costs money to raise a child.”
To support his run for leadership, Bourgault encourages people visit
his website josephbourgault.ca, join the Conservative Party of Canada
as a member, and include their name on his nomination petition.
Individuals are required to be members for at least 21 days before
nominating.
Bourgault is required to obtain 500 signatures to be able to qualify
for the candidacy.
“The other thing is I would appreciate what people can afford to give,
my fee to enter the race is $300,000 and I have to raise that by April
25.”

Jean Charest Retirement Announcement
Today, we announce that our partner and good friend, Jean Charest, is retiring from the partnership at McCarthy Tétrault, as of Friday, January 19, 2024.
Jean joined McCarthy Tétrault in 2013 after an illustrious career in public service spanning almost 30 years. As a partner of our firm and a mentor to many, he acted as a strategic advisor to our practice and our clients, leveraging his unique understanding of politics and international affairs.
Jean expressed the desire to continue the practice of law as a partner, past our mandatory retirement age, which is not possible in McCarthy Tétrault’s structure. We respect his decision to pursue another chapter in his professional life, and we are grateful for his numerous contributions.
We wish him all the best in this next chapter of his distinguished career.
People
Karl Tabbakh is a partner in McCarthy Tétrault’s Business Law Group and a member of its senior leadership team, heading the firm’s Markets and International Business. His practice primarily focuses on mergers and acquisitions, advising private equity sponsors, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders on the deals transforming their sectors.
With deep commercial acumen and exceptional relationship-building skills, Karl’s reputation as a global businessman has him recognized in the most prestigious directories and as one of Canadian Lawyer’s Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers in Canada. He is a recipient of the 2025 King Charles III Coronation Medal for outstanding contributions to and leadership in Canada’s business community and national economy.
“Karl Tabbakh's client service and general level of service, level of sophistication and commercial vision are very strong. He's a brilliant legal and business mind.”
Global dealmaking experience
With over 25 years of experience in Canada, the UK and the Middle East, Karl gives business leaders long-term and international insight into the implications of their biggest decisions. Both acquirers and financial sponsors frequently seek his advice at the outset of a transaction to develop the most effective deal structure and to strategize on the optimal deployment of capital. This experience extends around the world on strategic and complex cross-border transactions, both inbound and outbound, blending expertise in M&A, private equity, securities, and capital markets from multiple jurisdictions. As technology and the global economy continue to shift in unprecedented ways, Karl provides clients with the confidence that they are working with one of the best when negotiating, executing, and closing critical business transactions in Québec, Canada, and abroad.
From advising Rio Tinto in Canada’s largest-ever successful takeover bid to a transformational deal with Eddyfi Technologies spanning 15 international jurisdictions, Karl’s work with the world’s biggest and most innovative companies is exceptional. He has advised banks, miners, talent management firms, sensitive technology producers, sovereign wealth funds, and telecommunications giants. He partners with the senior leaders of transactions to anticipate potential challenges and goes deep into the governance matters and political and other sensitivities that arise when proposing deals that dramatically alter sectors and national economies.
“Karl Tabbakh is simply amazing. He is very international, calm, seasoned and constructive.”
Karl’s experience includes advising:
- Sagard Private Equity in connection with its investment in Norbec Inc., a leading manufacturer of insulated metal panels and walk-in coolers and freezers.
- Blackstone portfolio company Air Product Concepts in its acquisition of O’Dell HVAC Group, a world-class commercial HVAC equipment solutions provider in Ontario.

- Clearspring Capital in connection with the acquisition of Regal Confections, a leader in confectionery and premium chocolate products in Canada.

- U.S.-based Advanced Micro Devices Inc. in connection with the $5.5-billion takeover of ATI Technologies Inc.
Leadership at McCarthy Tétrault and in Canada’s business community
As the leader of our Markets and International Business, Karl leads the firm’s strategy and positioning as a go-to for referrals and international clients, developing reliable partnerships and ensuring seamless advice and support for our clients around the world for their Canadian needs. This includes elevating exceptional legal talent who excel at global business while innovating service delivery at a time when technology is dissolving traditional barriers to multinational collaboration.
Karl’s leadership has been further recognized with distinguished appointments and accolades. He is Chairman of Invest in Canada’s Board of Directors, the country’s federal agency for promotion, attraction, and coordination of foreign direct investments. He was appointed to this role in 2023 by the Government of Canada. Karl is also a former chairman of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and was previously a member of the board of directors of the Canada-Arab Business Council.
Karl’s particular expertise in the Middle East is driven in part by his entrepreneurial success in the region. In 2012, he co-founded an investment and private equity firm in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, after heading the corporate practice of a large international firm in the region. Combined with prior experience in a London Magic Circle firm, Karl’s mix of legal acumen and international expertise has made him a natural business leader in Canada and beyond.
Karl is active in the philanthropic world and supports many non-profit and community service organizations. He is a member of the Centraide/United Way campaign, a previous board member of the National Circus School and Foundation, and former Co-president of the Fillactive Father/Daughter Charity Ball.
Karl received his LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto, in 1997 after completing his BCL at the Université de Montréal in 1996. He also obtained a B.Comm. from Université Laval in Québec City. In addition to being a member of the Québec Bar, Karl is a Solicitor to the Supreme Court of England and Wales.
Born in Syria, raised in Québec and having practised in London, and Dubai, Karl speaks English, French, and Arabic, possessing a deep and sincere appreciation of the political, cultural, and corporate nuances of doing business in these dynamic regions.

Subject: US negotiating 17 trade deals
To: Friend <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.
NPR | May 6
Carney told Trump that Canada is not for sale. ‘Never say never,’ Trump replied
US President Donald Trump meets with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on May 6, 2025.
President Trump insisted that he would keep tariffs on Canadian goods during a friendly first meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House Tuesday but did not press his case that Canada should become the 51st state.
Trump told reporters he would like to see Canada become part of the United States, but nodded to the opposition to the idea from Canadians. “Takes two to tango, right?” Trump said.
“As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale. We’re sitting in one right now,” Carney told Trump. “Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign last several months, it’s not for sale. Won’t be for sale, ever,” he said.
Trump responded: “Never say never.”
Canada is reeling from Trump’s tariffs
Trump’s rhetoric and trade policies have sparked tension between the two allies and a wave of nationalism in Canada.
“We want to make our own cars,” Trump said. “We don’t really want cars from Canada, and we put tariffs on cars from Canada, and at a certain point it won’t make economic sense for Canada to build those cars. And we don’t want steel from Canada because we’re making our own steel.”
The tariffs come ahead of a review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade deal slated for next year. Carney said changes were needed in that agreement. “Part of the way you conducted these tariffs has taken advantage of existing aspects of USMCA, so it’s going to have to change,” Carney said.
Carney is a former central banker who took over after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned as leader of the center-left Liberal Party in January. The party was down in the polls until Trump started talking about annexation, raising the ire of Canadians.
Carney’s willingness to stand up to Trump’s rhetoric was a big part of his appeal to voters, said Asa McKercher, a public policy professor at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia — describing the “elbows up” slogan adopted by Carney’s campaign. It’s a hockey term used to describe a defensive stance.
Tuesday’s meeting could be an opportunity to “reset the relationship” between the U.S. and Canada, “because it’s pretty bad,” McKercher said. “Canadians are really upset at the president of the United States.”

It was truly beyond incredible today that not only did the New York
Bank and the CIBC people pretend to forget who I was but even the very
corrupt RCMP in Ottawa claimed that they lost my file as well.
Obviously everybody knows about my old blog so I can't help but wonder
how all the buddies of Governor Mark Carney formerly of Goldman and
Sachs will explain this nasty kid's blogs about mean old me when one
of Bernie Madoff's victims reads this one in particular.

"Senator Edward M. Kennedy David D. Aufhauser, General Counsel"

Clearly David Aufhauser's name is directly across from Ted Kennedy's
and he answered me Aufhauser quit the Treasury Dept just like he just
did with you when the going got tough.
The links above and below prove to you that a dumb Maritimer know hows
to read and write and even though he hasn't been to some fancy law
school he has sued many lawyers in the past CORRECT?

That is what crooked lawyers do not me. The next time I call UBS in
Canada (which will be very soon indeed) please do not allow the snobby
people in Upper Canada to laugh at me anymore or rest assured I will
sue your bank in a heartbeart to seek relief from your assistance to
the wrongs practiced against my family and I. If you doubt me or my
sincerity ask your former Generl Counsel or the US Treasury Dept or
the Attorney General of Masschusetts why I truly beieve and can prove
that they have no integrity whatsoever.
However if you bankers were truly wise in these troubling times I
believe you will realize that we can be of great assistance to each
other and the people who trust in your integrity. Perhaps you should
read my comments in this law blog as well.

Although UBS is far from innocent and it has definitely failed its

evil lawyers such as David Aufhauser and assisted to by governments
and the taxpayers are begining to understand that simple fact..

From the Pages of The Pomerantz Monitor: UBS Pressured to Settle
Auction Rate Securities Claims
The September issue of The Pomerantz Monitor relays events that led
UBS to enter into a global settlement with federal and state
regulators over auction rate securities. UBS, the Swiss banking
colossus with $1.9 trillion under management and over 80,000 employees
worldwide, has been forced to write off close to $43 billion in the
value of its debt portfolio. Its stock is down more than 50% this
year. Its chairman, CEO and other senior executives have been forced
out. And it is at the center of the auction rate securities debacle
and a tax fraud investigation. On August 12, UBS announced that in the
second quarter, its private-banking clients had withdrawn funds for
the first time in eight years; and that it is cutting 5,500 jobs. UBS'
wealth management advisors are reportedly defecting in droves.
About 50,000 UBS customers are now stuck with $37 billion worth of
auction rate securities. In order to settle a suit brought by the
Massachusetts Attorney General, claiming that UBS misled investors
about the safety and liquidity of those securities, UBS recently
agreed to pay $4.4 million and announced it would buy back up to $3.5
billion of auction rate preferred stock sold by closed-end tax-exempt
funds and held in UBS accounts as of that date.
The New York Attorney General ("NYAG") filed a similar suit on July
24; on the same day, the Texas State Securities Board moved to suspend
UBS' securities license in the state until UBS repurchases, at par,
all auction rate securities it sold to Texas investors. In addition,
the SEC was conducting an investigation into the auction rate
securities crisis.
Finally, on August 8, UBS, under overwhelming pressure, entered into a
global settlement with federal and state regulators in which it agreed
to buy back nearly $19 billion of auction rate securities held by
retail investors.
The New York action had the potential to be particularly embarrassing
for UBS. The suit alleges that seven UBS executives unloaded a total
of $21 million in auction rate securities in the months leading up to
the market's collapse, while the bank was telling customers that these
securities were safe. Among the seven was David Aufhauser, general
counsel for UBS' investment banking arm. The NYAG's complaint
references an email sent to Aufhauser, among others, anticipating the
UBS pull-out from the auction market for these securities. Later that
same day Aufhauser instructed his financial advisor to dump all his
auction rate securities holdings. Aufhauser has now resigned.
UBS is also in the dock for supposedly helping thousands of wealthy
investors from around the world hide their assets and income from tax
collectors. On July 17, 2008, a Senate subcommittee released a
110-page report on "Tax Haven Banks and U.S. Tax Compliance" that
focused on UBS and LGT Group, the largest bank in Liechtenstein, a
country which has been blacklisted by the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development for past money laundering activities. The
report concludes that, in order to recruit U.S. clients, UBS
established an elaborate formal training program on such subjects as
how to avoid surveillance by U.S. customs and law enforcement, and how
to secretly move money in and out of the country.
Apparently the IRS caught on to UBS when it audited a billionaire from
California and discovered some of the hidden assets. The billionaire
pleaded guilty to tax evasion and informed against his former UBS
private banker, Bradley Birkenfeld. When the IRS knocked on
Birkenfeld's door, he described to them the whole UBS tax evasion
program.
On July 17, the same day that the subcommittee held hearings and
released its report, UBS tried to head off the inevitable retribution
by announcing that it would stop offering offshore banking services to
U.S. clients and would cooperate with U.S. efforts to identify its
19,000 U.S. clients that it had previously failed to identify to the
Treasury.
UBS' chagrin was no doubt exacerbated by its being lumped together
with LGT. The taped testimony of the subcommittee's chief witness
against LGT, Heinrich Kleiber, was recorded in with his face in
shadows and his voice disguised.
LGT reportedly got caught when Kieber, a lowly information technology
employee and convicted felon, stole client account records in 2002 and
sold them to the authorities. The German and British governments
allegedly paid him a total of $7million for account records relating
to their citizens. Several individuals are already being prosecuted
for tax evasion, and more way be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
When the LGT scandal broke, Kieber received death threats from all
over the world, and there is reportedly a $10 million price on his
head. This, no doubt, reflects the type of clients LGT went out of its
way to recruit. Interpol is reportedly hunting for him too. Kieber is
now in hiding, with a new identity. "He's hunted, he's wanted — this
is not what I would call living the good life," said Jack A. Blum, Mr.
Kieber's lawyer. He may get to enjoy his $7 million, but we're
guessing that it won't be any time soon.

Neil Macdonald: The 'monarchs of money' and the war on savers
Power Shift: First in a series on the rise of the central bankers and the global imposition of cheap credit
Quietly, without much public fuss or discussion, a new ruling class has risen in the richer nations.
These men and women are unelected and tend to shun the publicity hogged by the politicians with whom they co-exist.
They are the world's central bankers. Every six weeks or so, they gather in Basel, Switzerland, for secret discussions and, to an extent at least, they act in concert.
The decisions that emerge from those meetings affect the entire world. And yet the broad public has a dim understanding, if any, of the job they do.
In fact, these individuals now wield at least as much influence over the lives of ordinary citizens as prime ministers and presidents.
The tool they have used to change the world so profoundly is one they alone possess: creating money out of thin air.
There is an economic term for this: quantitative easing. More colloquially, it's called printing money.
Since the great economic meltdown in 2008, these central bankers have probably saved the world's economy from collapse, and dragged it into the unknown at the same time.
The amounts they have created are so vast as to be almost incomprehensible — trillions of dollars in pounds and euros, among other currencies.
At the end of 2012, the balance sheets of the world's largest central banks, those of the G20 nations and the eurozone, including Sweden and Switzerland, totalled $17.4 trillion US, according to Bank of Canada calculations from publicly available data.
What's their legacy?
When the record of the 2008 global financial catastrophe is fully written — that story remains a work in progress — the world's central bankers will emerge either as heroes, or as the people who administered a cure that turned out to be as bad as the disease.
Three of them in particular will go down in history: Ben Bernanke of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank, and Canada's own Mark Carney, soon to be the governor of the Bank of England.
That is nearly a quarter of global GDP, and slightly more than double the $8.5 trillion these same institutions were holding at the end of 2007, before the financial crisis hit.
Stock markets have risen on this tide of cheap money. So has real estate. So, arguably, has everything else.
But there are two big concerns with what this new central banker elite has done.
One is that no one really understands the consequences of pumping such vast amounts of money into the world economy. It's already distorted the prices of certain assets, and some fear hyperinflation or market crashes are inevitable (the subject of tomorrow's column).
The other is that it's caused a massive shift in wealth, from savers to borrowers, and is taking money out of the pockets of almost everyone approaching or at retirement age.
A war on savings
Probably the most painful of the consequences of quantitative easing has been borne by the elderly.
Most of that generation grew up believing that if you save and exercise prudence that you will earn at least a modest return on your hard-earned money to keep you comfortable in your old age, perhaps along with a pension.
But the money-printing orgy of the last five years looks to have shot that notion to smithereens.
Very deliberately, the central bankers have punished savers, pushing interest rates so low that any truly safe investment — and older people are always advised to play it safe — yields a negative return when inflation is factored in.
The policy has savaged pension and savings returns worldwide, but particularly in Britain, a nation of savers and pensioners.
There is more money in British pension funds than in the rest of Europe combined, and now that money is just sitting, "dead," as some call it, not working for its owners.
Ask Judy White, a retiree in her late 60s who lives in Teddington, south of London, with her husband, Alan.
This year, the Bank of England shattered her retirement. Her pension benefit was effectively slashed by half.
"I don't understand what quantitative easing is, except that it's printing money," she says. "But I do understand that I now have 50 per cent less.
"What they have done is take money from people who have been really careful all their lives."
On the backs of the virtuous
Actually, by the Bank of England's own reckoning, the £375 billion of quantitative easing it has carried out since 2008 has cost British savers and pensioners about £70 billion, roughly $100 billion. (At the same time, the richest 10 per cent of British households saw the value of their assets increase over the same period, the bank reported.)
That cost to the elderly is largely because pension payouts in the U.K. are pegged to the yields on government bonds, and quantitative easing has forced those yields down to almost nothing.
Speaking for the Bank of England, Paul Fisher acknowledges that the bank has created a paradox: It does want people to save and be prudent — just not right now.
"We try," he says, "to get people to do things now to get out of this mess, which in the long run we prefer not to do."
In other words, might we please have some more of the wild consumer spending and borrowing that helped get us all into this situation, at least for a while?
The plain fact, though, is that central bank- and government-imposed solutions to disasters caused by irresponsible, greedy, foolish behaviour are almost always carried out on the backs of the virtuous.
So it was with the bank rescues in 2008, and so it is with quantitative easing.
As Ros Altmann, a longtime pension manager and director of the London School of Economics, puts it, quantitative easing has amounted to a "monumental social experiment" — a large-scale transfer of wealth from older people to younger people.
"Anybody who was a saver and has got some accumulated savings will have had a reduction in their income," she says.
While "anyone who had a big debt, particularly mortgage debts, would have had improvement in their income because their interest payments have gone down."
As stupid as it might sound, older people everywhere would probably be better off if they'd abandoned prudence and borrowed more.
That is obviously not what the central bankers or our political leaders want. But that's the situation they've created.
What's the alternative?
This transfer from savers to borrowers has also been taking place here in the U.S. and in Canada, to varying degrees.
Some U.S. pension funds are in danger of default, at least partially because of these artificially low interest rates, and Canadian pension funds that are heavily invested in safer debt have been injured, too.
In an interview in his Ottawa office, Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney defends quantitative easing elsewhere, and his own low-interest rate policy, though he does acknowledge that it has been hard on pensioners and savers.
Like all central bankers, he argues the (impossible to prove) negative: There have been consequences, yes, but if we hadn't done this, things would be far, far worse.
As for carrying out these solutions on the backs of the virtuous: "I don't see a world where the virtuous are rewarded if we suffered a second Depression," he says. "These are the stakes."
Carney would prefer not to talk about the enormous power central bankers have gained since 2008, saying only: "We have a tremendous responsibility … because of a series of mistakes that were made in the private sector and the public sector."
See the surge in central bank holdings, the printing of new money, beginning in the spring of 2008 with the bank bailouts and the acquistion of long-term securities to keep interest rates down. (International Monetary Fund)
As Canada has performed better than most Western nations, Carney has not ordered any new money printing.
But he has kept interest rates down, and that has fed the real estate booms over the last few years in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and elsewhere.
He scoffs at the suggestion that "the party" will end at some point. "I am not sure we are having a party right now," he says. "It doesn't feel like a party."
And, in fact, he has repeatedly expressed concern at the huge debt levels Canadians are accruing, at least partly because of his low-rate policies.
But surely he understands the anger of an older person watching their savings being eroded, I ask him.
Carney smiles grimly. That question is clearly a sore point. He gets a lot of mail on the topic.
Canadians, he says, must understand that the alternative is massive unemployment and thousands of businesses going under, and "my experience with Canadians is that they tend to think about their neighbours and their children and more broadly … they care a little bit more than just about themselves."
Asked whether central bankers are not in fact enabling irresponsible behaviour by speculators enamoured of cheap money, not to mention politicians who can't curb their borrowing and spending, Carney merely remarks that voters in a democracy get the governments they choose.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
ANNUAL REPORT
Date of end of last fiscal year: March 31, 2002
THE CANADIAN ECONOMY*
General
The following chart shows the distribution of real gross domestic product (“GDP”) at basic prices (1997 constant dollars) in 2001, which is indicative of the structure of the economy.
DISTRIBUTION OF REAL GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT AT BASIC PRICES(1)
(1) GDP is a measure of production originating within the geographic boundaries of Canada, regardless of whether factors of production are Canadian or non-resident owned, whereas gross national product (“GNP”) measures the value of Canada’s total production of goods and services — that is, the earnings of all Canadian owned factors of production. Quantitatively, GDP is obtained from GNP by adding investment income paid to non-residents and deducting investment income received from non-residents. GDP at basic prices represents the value added by each of the factors of production and is equivalent to GDP at market prices less indirect taxes (net), plus other production taxes (net). Moreover, these differences in GDP measures explain any perceived discrepancies in GDP growth rates in this document.
(2) May not add to 100.0% due to rounding.
(3) The agriculture, forestry, fishing, hunting, mining and oil and gas extraction sectors include a service component.
The volume of industry and sector output in the following discussion provides “constant dollar” measures of the contribution of each industry to GDP at basic prices. The share of service-producing industries in real GDP was 68.7% in 2001 while the remaining 31.3% was attributed to goods-producing industries.

Senior public servant Nathalie Drouin named national security adviser to PM
Drouin takes over as government considers reforms to CSIS's governing legislation
Veteran public servant Nathalie Drouin has been named national security and intelligence adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Drouin, deputy clerk of the Privy Council since August 2021, will retain that title when she takes up her new role on Jan. 27.
She becomes adviser as the Liberal government ponders significant reform of the legislation governing Canada's spy service to better address security threats.
Drouin was deputy minister of justice from 2017 to 2021.
As deputy Privy Council clerk, Drouin testified in November 2022 at the inquiry into the invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to protests that paralyzed downtown Ottawa and choked key border points.
Drouin replaces the retiring Jody Thomas, who became security adviser two years ago after serving as deputy minister of national defence.

>> >>>>>>>> I. Introduction
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos)
>> >>>>>>>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>> >>>>>>>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11
>> >>>>>>>> million
>> >>>>>>>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and

>> >>>>>>>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary

>> >>>>>>>> Safety

>> >>>>>>>> (Claim at para. 96).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by
>> >>>>>>>> way
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court
>> >>>>>>>> (the
>> >>>>>>>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> >>>>>>>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> >>>>>>>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally
>> >>>>>>>> vexatious,
>> >>>>>>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment
>> >>>>>>>> (the
>> >>>>>>>> Prothontary’s Order).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of
>> >>>>>>>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of
>> >>>>>>>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for
>> damages
>> >>>>>>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of
>> >>>>>>>> Status
>> >>>>>>>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19,
>> >>>>>>>> 2016.
>> >>>>>>>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>> >>>>>>>> cross-appeal.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> II. Preliminary Matter
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>> >>>>>>>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on
>> >>>>>>>> March
>> >>>>>>>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including
>> two
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this
>> >>>>>>>> appeal.
>> >>>>>>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he
>> >>>>>>>> believed
>> >>>>>>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with
>> >>>>>>>> this
>> >>>>>>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> >>>>>>>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have
>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court
>> >>>>>>>> because
>> >>>>>>>> he
>> >>>>>>>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been
>> >>>>>>>> filed
>> >>>>>>>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document
>> filed
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is
>> >>>>>>>> based
>> >>>>>>>> on
>> >>>>>>>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C.,
>> >>>>>>>> 1985,
>> >>>>>>>> c. F-7:
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or
>> >>>>>>>> her
>> >>>>>>>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>> >>>>>>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> Appeal.
>> >>>>>>>> […]
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>> >>>>>>>> Cour
>> >>>>>>>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs
>> >>>>>>>> que
>> >>>>>>>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.

>> >>>>>>>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act

>> >>>>>>>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part

>> >>>>>>>> that

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed

>> >>>>>>>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in
>> >>>>>>>> which
>> >>>>>>>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>> >>>>>>>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a
>> >>>>>>>> motion
>> >>>>>>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying
>> the
>> >>>>>>>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the
>> Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> if
>> >>>>>>>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court.
>> >>>>>>>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>> >>>>>>>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before
>> >>>>>>>> this
>> >>>>>>>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court
>> >>>>>>>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion
>> >>>>>>>> brought
>> >>>>>>>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents
>> >>>>>>>> filed
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this
>> >>>>>>>> Court.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest
>> >>>>>>>> and
>> >>>>>>>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was
>> >>>>>>>> also
>> >>>>>>>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the
>> conflict
>> >>>>>>>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in
>> >>>>>>>> his
>> >>>>>>>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several
>> >>>>>>>> pages
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>> >>>>>>>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the
>> >>>>>>>> particular
>> >>>>>>>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by
>> >>>>>>>> including
>> >>>>>>>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim
>> that
>> >>>>>>>> such judge had a conflict.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice
>> >>>>>>>> Webb
>> >>>>>>>> is
>> >>>>>>>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of
>> >>>>>>>> Canada
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and
>> >>>>>>>> before
>> >>>>>>>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> he
>> >>>>>>>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law
>> >>>>>>>> and
>> >>>>>>>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a
>> >>>>>>>> partner
>> >>>>>>>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>> >>>>>>>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in
>> >>>>>>>> which
>> >>>>>>>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> he
>> >>>>>>>> was a member of such firm.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>> >>>>>>>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice
>> >>>>>>>> Webb,
>> >>>>>>>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>> >>>>>>>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr.
>> Amos
>> >>>>>>>> at
>> >>>>>>>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>> >>>>>>>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with
>> >>>>>>>> this
>> >>>>>>>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such
>> >>>>>>>> dealings
>> >>>>>>>> were
>> >>>>>>>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the
>> >>>>>>>> Tax
>> >>>>>>>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings
>> >>>>>>>> between
>> >>>>>>>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where
>> >>>>>>>> Justice
>> >>>>>>>> Webb
>> >>>>>>>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing
>> between
>> >>>>>>>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of
>> >>>>>>>> Stephen
>> >>>>>>>> May
>> >>>>>>>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> >>>>>>>> Palmer.
>> >>>>>>>> The
>> >>>>>>>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of
>> >>>>>>>> e-mails
>> >>>>>>>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also
>> >>>>>>>> included
>> a
>> >>>>>>>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is
>> >>>>>>>> John
>> >>>>>>>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> >>>>>>>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed
>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>> >>>>>>>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>> >>>>>>>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>> >>>>>>>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice
>> >>>>>>>> Webb
>> >>>>>>>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In
>> >>>>>>>> Wewaykum
>> >>>>>>>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2
>> >>>>>>>> S.C.R.
>> >>>>>>>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>> >>>>>>>> apprehension of bias:
>> >>>>>>>> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>> >>>>>>>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by
>> >>>>>>>> de
>> >>>>>>>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National
>> Energy
>> >>>>>>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>> >>>>>>>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>> >>>>>>>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>> >>>>>>>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the
>> >>>>>>>> words
>> >>>>>>>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed
>> >>>>>>>> person,
>> >>>>>>>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having
>> >>>>>>>> thought
>> >>>>>>>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more
>> >>>>>>>> likely
>> >>>>>>>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>> >>>>>>>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>> >>>>>>>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and
>> >>>>>>>> having
>> >>>>>>>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’
>> >>>>>>>> allegations
>> >>>>>>>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court
>> >>>>>>>> has
>> >>>>>>>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges
>> >>>>>>>> will
>> >>>>>>>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>> >>>>>>>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias
>> >>>>>>>> (Collins
>> >>>>>>>> v.
>> >>>>>>>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins].
>> See
>> >>>>>>>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151

>> >>>>>>>> (4th) 193).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd.
>> >>>>>>>> v.
>> >>>>>>>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the
>> >>>>>>>> Supreme
>> >>>>>>>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>> >>>>>>>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>> >>>>>>>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The
>> >>>>>>>> Ontario
>> >>>>>>>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified
>> >>>>>>>> if
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he
>> >>>>>>>> was
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the
>> >>>>>>>> rules
>> >>>>>>>> for
>> >>>>>>>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>> >>>>>>>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case
>> >>>>>>>> over
>> >>>>>>>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no
>> >>>>>>>> involvement,
>> >>>>>>>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson
>> been
>> >>>>>>>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his
>> >>>>>>>> appointment
>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him
>> >>>>>>>> from
>> >>>>>>>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a
>> >>>>>>>> trial
>> >>>>>>>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered
>> >>>>>>>> by
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v.
>> >>>>>>>> Bayfield
>> >>>>>>>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58,
>> that
>> >>>>>>>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a
>> >>>>>>>> judge
>> >>>>>>>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be
>> >>>>>>>> an
>> >>>>>>>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>> >>>>>>>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>> >>>>>>>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of
>> >>>>>>>> disqualification
>> >>>>>>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations
>> of
>> >>>>>>>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's
>> >>>>>>>> previous
>> >>>>>>>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by
>> >>>>>>>> Sopinka
>> >>>>>>>> J.
>> >>>>>>>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249
>> (S.C.C.),
>> >>>>>>>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a
>> >>>>>>>> disqualifying
>> >>>>>>>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a
>> >>>>>>>> conclusory
>> >>>>>>>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>> >>>>>>>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial
>> >>>>>>>> judge.
>> >>>>>>>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case
>> and
>> >>>>>>>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face
>> >>>>>>>> value
>> >>>>>>>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para.
>> 19.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular
>> >>>>>>>> circumstances
>> >>>>>>>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>> >>>>>>>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view,
>> >>>>>>>> there
>> >>>>>>>> are
>> >>>>>>>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision
>> not
>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties
>> >>>>>>>> accept,
>> >>>>>>>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm
>> and
>> >>>>>>>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long
>> >>>>>>>> passage
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>> >>>>>>>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must
>> >>>>>>>> inform
>> >>>>>>>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of
>> >>>>>>>> this
>> >>>>>>>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That

>> >>>>>>>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The

>> >>>>>>>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J.

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter

>> >>>>>>>> because
>> >>>>>>>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of
>> >>>>>>>> involvement
>> >>>>>>>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had
>> >>>>>>>> carriage.
>> >>>>>>>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that

>> >>>>>>>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere
>> >>>>>>>> fact
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from
>> over
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he
>> >>>>>>>> would
>> >>>>>>>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's

>> >>>>>>>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would

>> >>>>>>>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and
>> >>>>>>>> favour
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six
>> >>>>>>>> years
>> >>>>>>>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case
>> involving
>> >>>>>>>> events from over a decade ago.
>> >>>>>>>> (emphasis added)
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>> >>>>>>>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>> >>>>>>>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos
>> made
>> >>>>>>>> it
>> >>>>>>>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>> >>>>>>>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough
>> >>>>>>>> for
>> >>>>>>>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos
>> >>>>>>>> with
>> >>>>>>>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would
>> >>>>>>>> have
>> >>>>>>>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when
>> he
>> >>>>>>>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>> >>>>>>>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos
>> >>>>>>>> had
>> >>>>>>>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself
>> >>>>>>>> is
>> >>>>>>>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>> >>>>>>>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer
>> >>>>>>>> would
>> >>>>>>>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in
>> >>>>>>>> Justice
>> >>>>>>>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man.
>> >>>>>>>> R.
>> >>>>>>>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>> >>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a
>> member
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no
>> >>>>>>>> involvement
>> >>>>>>>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue,
>> [2000]
>> >>>>>>>> 4
>> >>>>>>>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>> >>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person
>> who
>> >>>>>>>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished
>> >>>>>>>> as
>> >>>>>>>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files
>> >>>>>>>> involving
>> >>>>>>>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson
>> >>>>>>>> Law.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD.
>> He
>> >>>>>>>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a
>> >>>>>>>> “true
>> >>>>>>>> copy
>> >>>>>>>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this
>> >>>>>>>> CD.
>> >>>>>>>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the
>> >>>>>>>> CD
>> >>>>>>>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement
>> >>>>>>>> authorities
>> >>>>>>>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are
>> >>>>>>>> willing
>> >>>>>>>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an
>> >>>>>>>> “American
>> >>>>>>>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American
>> law
>> >>>>>>>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests,
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>> >>>>>>>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason
>> >>>>>>>> for
>> >>>>>>>> him
>> >>>>>>>> to recuse himself.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past
>> >>>>>>>> professional
>> >>>>>>>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in
>> >>>>>>>> deciding
>> >>>>>>>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>> >>>>>>>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for
>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he
>> >>>>>>>> alleges
>> >>>>>>>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he
>> >>>>>>>> wrote
>> >>>>>>>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that
>> time,
>> >>>>>>>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law

>> >>>>>>>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and

>> >>>>>>>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me

>> >>>>>>>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the
>> >>>>>>>> letter
>> >>>>>>>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by
>> >>>>>>>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no

>> >>>>>>>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question
>> >>>>>>>> does
>> >>>>>>>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> III. Issue
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did
>> the
>> >>>>>>>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the
>> >>>>>>>> Claim
>> >>>>>>>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that
>> >>>>>>>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>> >>>>>>>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> IV. Analysis
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> A. Standard of Review
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>> >>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of
>> >>>>>>>> review
>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and
>> >>>>>>>> decisions
>> >>>>>>>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in
>> >>>>>>>> Hospira
>> >>>>>>>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA
>> >>>>>>>> 215,
>> >>>>>>>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>> >>>>>>>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2
>> >>>>>>>> S.C.R.
>> >>>>>>>> 235
>> >>>>>>>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made
>> >>>>>>>> by
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of
>> the
>> >>>>>>>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal
>> if
>> >>>>>>>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and
>> >>>>>>>> overriding
>> >>>>>>>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed
>> >>>>>>>> fact
>> >>>>>>>> and
>> >>>>>>>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only
>> >>>>>>>> interfere
>> >>>>>>>> with
>> >>>>>>>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary
>> >>>>>>>> order
>> >>>>>>>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding
>> >>>>>>>> error
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>> >>>>>>>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>> >>>>>>>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This
>> >>>>>>>> Court
>> >>>>>>>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the
>> >>>>>>>> Judge
>> >>>>>>>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing
>> to
>> >>>>>>>> interfere.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>> >>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>> >>>>>>>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for
>> >>>>>>>> striking
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the
>> Plaintiff
>> >>>>>>>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but
>> >>>>>>>> four
>> >>>>>>>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> 2006
>> >>>>>>>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction
>> of
>> >>>>>>>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in
>> right
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the
>> >>>>>>>> Province
>> >>>>>>>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident
>> >>>>>>>> alleged
>> >>>>>>>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this
>> >>>>>>>> Court.
>> >>>>>>>> (…)
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>> >>>>>>>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the
>> >>>>>>>> location
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>> >>>>>>>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible
>> to
>> >>>>>>>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to
>> >>>>>>>> advance.
>> >>>>>>>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the
>> >>>>>>>> Defendant
>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action.
>> >>>>>>>> At
>> >>>>>>>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>> >>>>>>>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>> >>>>>>>> [footnotes omitted].
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the
>> >>>>>>>> Claim
>> >>>>>>>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge
>> >>>>>>>> noted
>> >>>>>>>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>> >>>>>>>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the
>> >>>>>>>> actors
>> >>>>>>>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>> >>>>>>>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In
>> >>>>>>>> considering
>> >>>>>>>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>> >>>>>>>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>> >>>>>>>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>> >>>>>>>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment
>> >>>>>>>> at
>> >>>>>>>> para. 27).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>> >>>>>>>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v.
>> >>>>>>>> Canada,
>> >>>>>>>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse,
>> >>>>>>>> 2003
>> >>>>>>>> SCC
>> >>>>>>>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> >>>>>>>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>> >>>>>>>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and
>> >>>>>>>> unlawful
>> >>>>>>>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>> >>>>>>>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the
>> >>>>>>>> plaintiff;
>> >>>>>>>> and
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the
>> >>>>>>>> public
>> >>>>>>>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> >>>>>>>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> >>>>>>>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed
>> >>>>>>>> sufficient
>> >>>>>>>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>> >>>>>>>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>> >>>>>>>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of
>> >>>>>>>> pleadings
>> >>>>>>>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184,
>> 321
>> >>>>>>>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>> >>>>>>>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>> >>>>>>>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did
>> >>>>>>>> steal”.
>> >>>>>>>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is
>> >>>>>>>> called
>> >>>>>>>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making
>> >>>>>>>> bald,
>> >>>>>>>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an
>> >>>>>>>> abuse
>> >>>>>>>> of process…
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public
>> >>>>>>>> office
>> >>>>>>>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in
>> carrying
>> >>>>>>>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the
>> >>>>>>>> public
>> >>>>>>>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or
>> her
>> >>>>>>>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>> >>>>>>>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>> >>>>>>>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of
>> >>>>>>>> mind
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>> >>>>>>>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>> >>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge
>> >>>>>>>> interfered
>> >>>>>>>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>> >>>>>>>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material
>> >>>>>>>> facts
>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which
>> >>>>>>>> addresses
>> >>>>>>>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP
>> officer
>> >>>>>>>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>> >>>>>>>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in
>> >>>>>>>> bad
>> >>>>>>>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was
>> >>>>>>>> barred
>> >>>>>>>> from
>> >>>>>>>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious
>> >>>>>>>> reasons,
>> >>>>>>>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed
>> >>>>>>>> against
>> >>>>>>>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
>> Legislative
>> >>>>>>>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As
>> >>>>>>>> such,
>> >>>>>>>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> RCMP
>> >>>>>>>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was
>> >>>>>>>> capable
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> supporting a cause of action.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of
>> >>>>>>>> bare
>> >>>>>>>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>> >>>>>>>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety.
>> >>>>>>>> Further,
>> >>>>>>>> we

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't
>> >>>>> explain the nature of the threats.
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> "I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you
>> >>>>> have
>> >>>>> to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
>> >>>>> "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> "I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a

>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated?
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> "I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied.
>> >>>>>
